Looking at schools and universities, it is difficult to pinpoint when education, teaching and learning started to haemorrhage purpose, aspiration and function. As the internet offers a glut of information, bored surfers fill their cursors and minds with irrelevancies, losing the capacity to sift, discard and judge.

Tara Brabazon is Professor of Education and Head of the School of Teacher Education, Charles Sturt University, Australia
